The Madhuri Dixit-starrer 'Maja Ma' that premiered on Prime Video on 6th October, tugged at audience's heartstrings with its emotional plot.
The narrative begins with a series of innocuous events that eventually lead up to the key protagonist, Pallavi Patel, played by Madhuri Dixit, unintentionally coming out of the closet, challenging societal norms and inadvertently jeopardizing her son's upcoming engagement. Even as her reality places her at crossroads with her family, we see her stay strong to her convictions and her identity.
Excited about the response that the movie has been receiving, Madhuri shared in a statement, "Maja Ma proves that the era of boxing people and characters is over. Pallavi’s sexual orientation is just one of the many facets of her identity. She is much more than that – a brilliant dancer, a doting mother, a friend and above all, a human being who can inspire others around her. The storyline depicts a journey of evolution and Pallavi’s character showcases that journey with a myriad of emotions and feelings – ranging from confusion, fear, to acceptance and courage to accept one’s own true identity. This movie is about love, family and acceptance, but all of it is said without being preachy. In a way, Maja Ma encourages people to not be judgmental and embrace others for who they are."
The film revolves around a woman who held another woman in her heart for years without thinking of her personal happiness within the frame of her marriage. 'Maja Ma' is a family entertainer, set against the celebratory backdrop of a traditional festival and a quintessential, colorful Indian wedding.
It boasts of an ensemble cast including Gajraj Rao, Ritwik Bhowmik, Barkha Singh, Srishti Shrivastava, Rajit Kapur, Sheeba Chadha, Simone Singh, Malhar Thakar and Ninad Kamat.
